Police said two shots were fired during the robbery about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, but no one was hurt.

Investigators said two men came into the store as if they were customers. One of them walked out the front door and the other pulled out a gun, held it to the owner's head and demanded money. Surveillance cameras captured part of the scene in progress.

The owner yelled for the people in the back of the salon to get out and then he fled.

"When he fired (the gun), I was standing over there. I was just blessed, that's all, because he can get me," said the owner, who asked that his name not be used.

He said it bothers him that criminals can just come in and demand his hard-earned money.

"I'm struggling. I'm here thinking, 'What am I going to do to live with this?' and then these people come in, just like, it's easy money," the owner said.

He said he's angry about what happened and he wants the people caught.

"Believe me, if I had a gun, I would finish their lives today," he said.

No arrests have been made. Anyone with information is asked to call the Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS.
